Abstract
The catalytic activity of ruthenium carbonyl complexes was studied for the reduction of various Schiff bases under pressurized syngas. Ru3(CO)12 was found to be a fairly good catalyst. A solvent effect study revealed amides and pyridine to be the solvents of choice. Higher pressures of hydrogen favored the reduction. In contrast, the reaction was suppressed when higher CO pressure was applied, although a low pressure of CO (~10atm) was found to be essential.
